Shot at the height of their fame in 1979 "ABBA-live" was made during
long European and American tours. Beginning in the USA the viewer is
given a unique behind the scenes look at the band and their touring
activities. The film then crosses the Atlantic to London, Wembley Arena,
where for six nights ABBA stunned audiences with their dazzling show and
delivered one classic pop hit after another...

Arguably, the major musical event of 1992/3 was the renaissance of ABBA,
whose "ABBA Gold-Greatest hits" album and video, topped the UK chats and
the charts of a dozen other countries around the world. Not bad for a
group that effectively went its separate ways ten years before...
However, they are without any doubt, among the ten most popular acts of
entire history of modern pop/rock music and the fact that their time
came round again in 1992 (just as it had for so many acts from the
golden era of pop music), should cause no raising of eyebrows.
After 20 years during which ABBA left a permanent mark on the history of
pop music, their international popularity shows a little sign of
diminishing.
